That said, it doesn't matter what I think...because Intel and Microsoft
are gearing up to put a media PC in every home. There will be millions,
possibly billions, spent on marketing - it's seen as the next major
growth area for PCs now that office and home PCs have reached
saturation. So I doubt whether little old me will make a difference in
the face of such a juggernaut. :-)
Just remember the Itanium, or as The Register loved to call it, the
Itanic... they can spend whatever they want on marketing, it doesn't
necessarily mean that they'll sell any boxes :) WindowsME got plenty of
marketing too, and $DIETY pity the poor folks who bought it... it
certainly didn't take over the home market the way that Microsoft
intended for it to do.
